Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI

spotplace writes "It's not common to see a company blast their own product for failing to adapt to times and people's necessities, unless they're trying to give you a reason to buy the latest and greatest of said product. That's exactly what Adobe has done. John Nack, senior product manager at Adobe, says the old Photoshop interface doesn't cut it anymore: "I sometimes joke that looking at some parts of the app is like counting the rings in a tree: you can gauge when certain features arrived by the dimensions & style of the dialog. No one wants to work with — or work on — some shambling, bloated monster of a program.""

Re:Inspiration for new UI

[BitZtream]

I think the point of the article is that they want to bring it up to date and shed some cruft, not downgrade it to something like GIMP.

GIMP is fine and dandy for ability, but the UI is a shining example of why its not the year of the linux desktop. The UI is still utter shit.

Sorry fanboys
